Thanks a lot for all these nice impressions!! Sounds like the NO is a pretty good deal! So NO, ZMF and AC are in the final 3

Thanks for the measurements! I think that makes them not the perfect "additional" headphone. But in general I might keep them in mind and if only I could try them here in Germany somehow I might end up buying them at some point but like this it's too risky to just order them ... Plus there is...

Thanks!!! I agree with the hd650 description because that's why I sold mine long ago. Sounds like I'll need the Blackwood at some point after all... I was afraid that would happen xD

Thanks! Is the Atticus closed as well?

I'm mainly using a chord Hugo2 and a Colorfly C4. Budget I'd say around 1k as I only want them as a secondary pair of cans for mainly on my balcony ( hence also the closed nature I'm looking for)

Alright thx I'll see if I can test them maybe from Amazon or Thomann

Thanks that's some awesome impressions. I forgot to add: I mainly listen to Pop, Rock and heavy Metal. And vocals + guitars are the things I am most focused on when listening Edit sounds like they would complement each other quite good!

Thanks for all the replies!!!!! Just amazing

OK thanks I confuse the names of those always xD so they not recommended? Budget is preferably sub 500 but basically it's as much as it takes xD so +1 for the meze TX0 indeed a good idea! Hmmm warmer Side might be enough.. definitely will need to vchec them out Wow! That sounds awesome af...

I'm looking for some good closed back cans to use for relaxied listening and whilst on my balkony. Looking for something warm LCD2-, Fidelio-ish, but closed. Had the Audeze LCD XC for a while now but they are too expensive imo. Been hinking about Nighthawk, MEZE 99 C, MrSpeakers Aeon, Shure...

Id recommend saving up for the clear then ;) but maybe give the Denon AH-D7200 a try. It's similar to the 2c sound signature and extremely low weight BUT it's not nearly as good as the 2c so don't even consider it if it's not sub 500$

@betula no it's no problem for me especially compared to the heavier XC.

I'm sorry for the hold up on the comparison between the LCD2C and the other cans but I had a Clear driver fail on me yesterday ( some bass rattle on the right driver). So I'll need to have that replaced first :/

The Aune amp isnt as bad as some people claim especially compared to the 2k Sony. And the LCD2 C doesn't need that much power anyways. But that doesn't matter much if it's not available for you :frowning2: I heard a LOT of good stuff about the RME Adi dac and that's only 1k for dac and amp! So...

over the next months I'm going to get rid of most my stuff except for 2,3 headphones and the matching source because I can't use that many and I will end up buying and trying more headphones sooner or later anyways. I tested the Denon with a musician buddy of mine and two other music...

Depends on your budget. I think the Aune S16 was a pretty good match and is incredible value but my favorite pairing was with the Hugo2

Has anyone a done a A/B comparison of the LCD 2C and the LCD X? I'm currently comparing the Focal Clear, T1 and the lcd2C and I think the lCD2 C is unbelievable for it's money and beats the T1 in all but naturalness and soundstage but the clear ( in all fairness while being lots more expensive)...

50% of the people I've asked recommend the adi and the other 50% the hugo.. so I guess it's a matter of taste:deadhorse::disappointed_relieved:

I currently have an Aune S16 and Colorfly C4. Ordered the Sony TA-ZH1ES but tbh I cant notice much difference to the S16. Going to do some more blind testing later but I think its waaaaay overpriced and not worth keeping. So I'm looking to some of these to either add as an amp to the S16...

Sounds interesting! Gonna try that! Btw also pretty awesome: you want it darker by Cohen and anything future islands

Im using the Sony TA-Z1EL, aune S16 ,and aune T1 and Colorfly C4 and the 2C is growing on my fast

It always depends on where you coming from.. from a T1 POV they are dark as hell, from a AH-D7200 not as much by far

Thanks!! Indeed! I think the T1 and the LCD2C complement each other perfectly! And I noticed that when I was listening to an album with one of them after listening to the album earlier with the other one, that I started to appreciate qualities that I didn't even realize anymore ( especially on...

Going to do a little comparison (also with the HD700) over the next week.

Btw joeexp i hope my reply didn't sound like I wouldn't trust your judgement! If so I apologise because I value your opinion (and chef8489's) a lot! Been a member here for 5 years I think and always loved how much the community helps each other and is always friendly.
